Aronson on Right Side of a Cooler to Bust Kemper

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Drake Kemper raised to 10,000 in the hijack and Gus Hansen called in the cutoff. Cary Aronson then three-bet to 44,500 on the button, and only Kemper called.

The flop came AK8 and Aronson potted to 106,500. Kemper then moved all in, and Aronson snap-called.

Drake Kemper: KK88 All in
Cary Aronson: AA52

Kemper showed a set of kings, but Aronson had him crushed with his set of aces. The board ran out 52, and Aronson secured the big pot.

It took several minutes to count down the stacks, and Aronson barely had Kemper's remaining 196,000 covered to send him to the rail.
